One is a hot/cold failover like carp only I used freevrrpd (/usr/ports/net/freevrrpd). The second one is a simple loadbalancer called pen (/usr/ports/net/pen (http://siag.nu hit the 'More stuff' link). The third approach would be using dns - providing you run your own dns, you could do simple round-robin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS). The easiest one, providing you have a mirror of your web server would probably be pen. /R
